Penny in Pompeii

This bag is always on my back, I've gotta cover the target. In the inspiration T-shirt that got all of this started. Fly dude in some knit trainers and some shorts that let my knees show. Training with the good for the fight against evil. They say all lives matter but it's clear they aren't equal. Reused that IG caption from 2 weeks ago but it's the same today. Making a movie in these Pink Flyknits, this is my Training Day. The flow's insane today, I can tell I'll be spitting flames today. But I do this every time so really nothing's changed today. I'm swinging for the fences in a major way. Chasing my dreams so long I think I need some Gatorade. He came along and saved the day so I know I can make a way. I understand my dream is rarely realistic, I'm nearly statistic, which will make it even sweeter once it's clear that I did it. That's the essence of a dream. These blessings that I've seen, have made it clear to me that nothing's messing up my scheme. I'm setting up a scene, making a movie, this is only a clip. My day is just getting started, I just got off the ship. I think it's clear that I'm true to this, gazing at Mt. Vesuvius. I'm currently on tour, but the bus ain't mine yet. My mother doesn't believe in the pen cause her son ain't signed yet. Vincenzo guiding me through places I had only heard about. Seeing it for myself is way better than word of mouth. I'm literally lyrically painting pictures in Italy. If you can't see my writing's grown, you must be kidding me. From Naples to Sorrento, and I'm amazed by city three. A place that I once threw in one of those Sixteen Bars, but thought I wouldn't see. "It's a tragedy, them drop dead bars that Shaun say, got everybody stopping in their tracks like Pompeii." Wrote that two years ago, I've come a long way since. I never force my rhymes, it's all precision and patience. And with that said, I had another line but I lost it. Might take a break to sneak in a nap, I'm exhausted.

I'm tired while touring cause Grandma was snoring so Shane and I couldn't get sleep it was horrid. Just left Sorrento, that was quite a vibe. Been two weeks since I pushed the Benzo, gotta find my drive. Make magic every time I touch the pen so I am not surprised. Spitting off the top trying to secure my bottom line. I'm schooling you and killing it, that's... Never mind I'm off that. Scrap it up and toss raps because I never force raps. Flow so sick that I cough raps. I went from hesitating to shoot my shot to getting the ball back. That's make it take it. I'm made to take it and I ain't taking breaks yet. Foul flow and all these rhymes are flagrant. It's like I write them in cursive, lines flowing. The pen took care of my pain. I didn't need ibuprofen. I'm not joking, my mind's high but I'm not smoking. My main problem is sometimes I can not focus. But when I do I make Magic. Call me Penny, I spit my heart away. I'm trying to turn the pen into a penny for my thoughts so I've been penning out my heart. It doesn't cost a dime, I'm just lending out my art. I'm looking back at mediocrity and saying adios, reporting live from the Amalfi Coast. Sorry to double up but this is a picture I've just gotta post. My mind's great when I concentrate. I show you my art, I write a play. Peep the pictures that I might display. Like you're pursuing these dreams with me amidst this beautiful scenery. I told you I'm like a soccer mom, I'm bringing my team with me. Creating inspiration every time I'm bringing this tee with me. Create inspiration from limitation, I told you you could catch me in this tee all summer. Somebody tell my parents that their son was bringing heat all summer. I turned all my IG captions into rhymes off the top of the dome. No longer searching for myself, I'm off of the chrome. I was in need of a revolution so I started my own. In about 24 hours it's time to go home, and I've really got my mind on the throne. Coming for the top spot, everything I drop's hot. I've been thinking out of the box, not tryna to hopscotch. I keep on climbing and I'm raising the bar, this is top notch. 3 months ago my mom asked me if I felt pressure to follow up the note to myself. Since then, the flow has excelled. Every time I write I'm growing myself. I'm focusing well and I notice it helps. And once I get my writing into the right hands, I know it can sell. It's like an out of body experience, I don't even know what's happening. I'll never forgive myself for the verse I wrote at the Vatican. I was once depressed, I can never be that again. Cause anytime I'm losing my grip, I just grab the pen. Bumping Losing My Balance knowing I'm head over heels. I'm learning to accept how you feel. For even our deepest scars, there's a blessing, they heal. I'm just trying to spread the love that I've been destined to feel. So I hope you get the message, it's real. That's even more important to me than getting a deal. That's something you don't have to question, it's clear. That's why I'm free from all the stressing and fear. I know what I'm for and I know what's for me. I never front in these lines, I'm all I can be. Frontline flow, I lay it down for my team. They're sleeping on me, I'm laying out all my dreams. I let em see it clearly, I'm laying out all my schemes. I make it clear so they can't say it ain't what it seems. It is what it is, and that's what it's gonna be. Well aware of the obstacles that are lying in front of me. But they don't compare to the ones I've put behind me, I had to get my mind free. Since I've done what I've done, don't tell me what I can do. Is it really MY best interest if it's coming from you? Nah. I'm doing me like masturbation. It's more than cash I'm chasing. I'm doing me, and if you're mad, you're hating. Life is the most important class I'm taking, it feels like every day's my graduation. I don't even know what I'll say next, I'll just use my imagination. I'm serving food for thought, I've mastered waiting. You see the flow so sick, that I added patience. Perfect timing with these lines I have the cadence. These rhymes so fine, somebody has to pay this. And once I get em recorded, they're gonna have to play this. Perfected progression and learned to love myself. I've come a long way from that sixteen freestyle with the bars so hot my tongue would melt or from back when I was sixteen and I used to rock the studded belts. Oh man, times changed. Shaun grew. We'll always have something in common, I love Shaun too. And if you're still reading at this point I love all of you. And since you're still reading at this point, I'll do what you taught me to.

I'm still tired it's been a long day, we just pulled up to Pompeii. That's how these words are influenced. I'm writing this verse from the ruins. Dust in my eyes as I look up to the sky. I've learned to never trust a disguise. That experience was such a surprise. I share it all cause I've got nothing to hide. But she doesn't need to be named again, I know I'll never feel that pain again, I've gotta thank the pen. What a relief. See what I'm pitching, yo that punch was discrete. Hidden punch lines, dig em up find, that I'm a surgeon with the pen, I precision cut rhymes. That line with the pen is relief pitching, only few would catch it. I used to say I was artistically challenged, now I know writing is art. I once almost lost my mind, now it's in line with my heart. No lie, I'm true to this. I'll blow up and shut the city down, word to Vesuvius. I'm mounting up for the climb, and I'm counting on these rhymes cause there's a fountain in my mind that keeps on sprouting out these lines. I free my mind and pen my heart away. I conquer my dark hours cause I've had plenty harder days. Still no alias but another moniker, I'm Penny Heartaway.
